The resolution requests the Division of Highways to officially name bridge number 52-009/00.004.54(52A159), known locally as Sugar Run Bridge in Wetzel County, as the "U.S. Army Private First Class Howard Bissett Memorial Bridge." This naming is intended to honor PFC Howard Bissett, who served in the U.S. Army for eight years, earning the National Defense Service Medal, and who was a dedicated member of his community and family until his passing in 2013.
The resolution outlines Bissett's life, including his early work on the family farm, his military service, his marriage to Juanita Hawkins, and his role as a father and grandfather. It emphasizes the importance of establishing a lasting memorial to recognize his contributions to the state and country. Additionally, the resolution calls for the installation of signs to identify the bridge by its new name and directs the Clerk of the House to forward a copy of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways.
